Blogger Basharee Murtadd went looking for reactions on Arab web sites to the mass murders committed at Virginia Tech, and while it's pretty clear that Seung Hui Cho was simply insane (and not on a personal jihad ), the jihadis are eager to claim him as one of their own:The Difference between Jews and Muslims.

And now, turning to our peace-loving Muslims at an Arabic Islamic forum,
I translate some of their ‘condolences’:

Al-Jazeera reported 20 dead and 29 injured. Praise be to
Allah.

Praise be to Allah for these calamities hitting America. By the will of
Allah, more of this [will happen], following their defeat in Iraq and
Afghanistan.

O Allah, keep America busy with itself, and enamor its people against
it.

And on this
site, the massacre is being referred to as “The Great Ghazwa of
Virginia”:

(Ghazwa means ‘raid’ in Arabic, referring to the battles Muhammad
and his followers fought against the non-Muslims)

Translation: “The first picture of the South Korean Shaikh, Abu Mus’Ab
Al-Virgini [the Virginian]” (an attempt to make him seem like Abu Mus’Ab
Al-Zarqawi)
